The Australian Dance Challenge is a competition like no other. We are not a traditional eisteddfod. ADC is a showcase of young talent in Australia. Each performance event is like a full show complete with lighting, professional sound, stage manager, performer introductions and supportive audience. We believe that every child deserves the chance to feel like a superstar and enjoy a professional performance athmosphere.

Founded by dance entrepeneur Ben Stokes, the idea for the Australian Dance Challenge came from years spent sitting at traditional dance eisteddfods held in High School halls with noisy rude audiences, limited lighting, poor sound quality, uncomfortable seats and all the things you'd expect to see from our local eisteddfods. Ben wanted to re-invent the "eisteddfod", as we've come to know it, and offer a special performance opportunity that would be memorable for performers as well as stress-free and convenient for parents/teachers.Australian Dance Challenge
